  "main_market_day": "Friday",
  "steps": [
    {
      "step": 1,
      "name": "arrival",
      "notes": "Member and non-member basic retail flow should remain legible. Visitor/tasting experience must not block ordinary candy purchase."
    },

      "step": 2,
      "name": "optional viewing",
      "notes": "Production viewing is physically separated where required. Viewing is optional; production is real, not staged."

    {
      "step": 3,
      "name": "pick-and-mix",
      "notes": "Self-directed selection. Product cards expose maker/node/origin and sold-out state."
    },
    {
      "step": 4,
      "name": "weigh_and_pay",
      "notes": "Potential bottleneck. Keep transaction path short; do not require community interaction to buy."
    },

      "step": 5,
      "name": "feedback_optional",
      "notes": "Observed sales is primary signal. Explicit feedback remains optional and low-friction."
    },

      "step": 6,
      "name": "sold_out",
      "notes": "Sold-out bins are allowed and visibly marked. Normal stockout does not trigger emergency exchange."

      "notes": "Remaining safe inventory can continue through later limited sales windows or next cycle depending on product rules."
